This is a hot and spicy tomato chilli garlic sauce, popularly known as momos chutney. Though it is commonly served with momos, it goes well with other snacks like non-fried pakoras or fritters. It practically takes just about 15 minutes to put it all together. It's not only a yummy addition to your snacks, it's a healthier option as it is free of any additives or preservatives too!

You could even pre-prepare and store it in your fridge and enjoy this lip-smacking condiment as and when required.
